Episode 2 entrance exam will be destroyed

“Hey! Don’t go anywhere and get beaten up!”
“hahahaha. Okay. Thank you.”
“Thank you! It’s because the prestige of the family is diminished when your brother is beaten up!”
Leaving behind the tsun-tsun-like greeting of Julis, I got on the carriage heading to the islands.
The specific destination is Legion Academy.
In name and reality, it is the best academy in the empire.
“I’m leaving. Hey-.”
I was lost in thought while listening to the chatter of words.
Legion has a history of producing great wizards and masters over hundreds of years, and was famous for investing huge budgets in the empire to effectively train talented people.
The support that an excellent student receives for a year is equivalent to the annual budget of a decent aristocratic family, so it is not a joke to say that money is spent to select talented people.
Once you enter there, your future is guaranteed.
That’s why the threshold for admission is never low.
Above all, Legion Academy is meritocracy.
Even a commoner could enter the school if he had talent, and becoming a nobleman after graduating with excellent grades was not a dream either.
As for why I’m telling you this…
Because I am trying to cross that threshold.
“Yulia. How long are you going to hide?”
I asked the girl who was hiding her presence because it seemed that she was moderately distant.
Then, like a chameleon, the girl who was hiding inside her carriage takes her magical powers.
“… Sorry. I had no intention of fooling her brother. Because the head of the household won’t allow it.”
Yulia Taranhilt.
Just like Taranhilt, he is my younger brother with black hair, self-confidence, and outstanding looks.
The relationship with Yuris, who is always tsun-tsuk, is a twin sister.
Yulia isn’t normally this troublemaker, but she often gets into trouble like this.
“… Will you send it back? If we break up, will we not see each other for a while?”
Looking at the sorrowful eyes makes my heart weak.
It has no choice but to be like that because unlike Julis, Julia is a very obedient sister.
Because he was one of the few people who believed in my bluff (according to Ruina) even when I was limiting my powers in order to become a Master.
‘What… I think he pretended to believe me, but.’
Anyway.
She was an admirable younger sister who always treated her like an older brother even when I heard the sound of a fallen genius, so I had a bit of a weak side to Yulia.
“What… I can’t help it. But I will listen to the head of the family.”
“Yes! I was prepared for that!”
What’s so good about her face being wide open?
“Oh no. Oppa, I packed my lunch. I thought it would be nice to eat together in the wagon.”
“You made up your mind?”
“hehehehe. It’s been a while since I went on a picnic with my brother.”
It’s gorgeous when she takes out her lunch box.
I have to say that I feel so much sincerity that I couldn’t really make it in an hour or two.
Sometimes we didn’t eat breakfast, and we couldn’t ignore the sincerity of the producer, so we left the window open and ate together.
Eating in a carriage… Still, since it was a high-end wagon, it wasn’t bad because it didn’t shake much.
The taste of the food was quite good.
But this was expected because Yulia was good at cooking.
“… Brother. But will it be okay?”
“What? Did you follow me?”
“No… Brother, your grades were bad. What if it falls?”
“I can’t help it if I fall.”
“… Huh. I hope you stick with it.”
The reason Julia is worried is that my writing grades are bad.
Until now, I had taken the written test and the first practical test, and the only score reported to the family was the written test.
My grades were intermittent.
To explain the Legion entrance exam, a total of three tests are taken.
Writing and 1st practice.
And finally, the second final performance.
The writing score was not good.
When the score was notified to the family, it was confirmed that it barely passed the cut-off.
Of course, I studied on my own, but I didn’t have enough time.
Some of it was because I was learning the sword, and my competitors were gifted students from all over the country who had been preparing for the entrance exam for years, so it was natural in a way.
Unlike him, the first practical test is to measure physical ability, but at least the average value must have been far above.
Because it was the yard where the metamorphosis occurred.
Anyway.
The two scores are combined to decide who will take the final exam, and the fact that I was invited to the final exam site proves that the first practical score was not bad.
In fact, the upcoming final exam is the key.
Because there was no test to grasp the core competency of the examinee as much as that.
“Don’t be burdened, oppa.”
“Yes.”
“Let’s go. My brother will do well.”
Yulia takes a fighting pose and encourages me.
I am grateful for her kindness.
There is no burden at all separately.
On the contrary, I was full of confidence.
‘Because it’s a test you can’t fail.’
I have already risen to Master.
And I had no intention of hiding it.
I already told Yulia. ‘I suddenly got stronger,’ he said.
And Yulia laughed and said, ‘Oppa was always strong?’ And she passed.
But looking at it now, it seems that they don’t believe it at all.
I’ve been saying that since I was 14 years old, so do you think it’s an exaggeration?
In that case, it should be shown in the final exam, not words.
To explain the test roughly, the test is taken in a virtual world that is almost identical to reality.
It’s a ridiculous test in which several archmages, less than 10 in the empire, are mobilized… Well, it’s a legion, so it’s a possible test.
I intend to show off my skills there.
I had to hide my skills if I was halfway strong, but my judgment was that there was no need to do that at my current level.
Yulia, who cheered me on and checked my tension level, was so proud that I stroked her hair.
“Brother… ? I’m all grown up… “
My eyes went wide.
And yet, the body rubs its head honestly.
Even if you say it like that, Yulia really likes it when I stroke her hair like a puppy.
When you’re in the family, you can’t treat them well, so they do it when you’re alone in the carriage.
“I’m not young anymore… “
But, I can’t.
I was startled to see the s*xiness in the reaction.
I had the feeling of seeing my daughter since I was a toddler. When did you grow up like this?
Even though he was wearing loose-fitting clothes, there were curves that could not be hidden.
“Um.”
Let’s stop here.
Even between siblings, we must protect what we protect.
“You can do more… “
“No. It’s too big.”
“Is Yulia still young?”
You said you weren’t young before, but your words change right away.
Anyway, it’s very strange.
It’s normal for a normal brother and sister relationship to be bad, but it’s the exact opposite between me and Yulia.
Maybe it’s because they’re half siblings.
Also, since I was reincarnated, I haven’t acted like a child since I was a child, so maybe that’s because of that.
Actually, Yulia’s nature is milder than that, so that’s probably the biggest thing.
Because he followed me like a puppy.
When the engagement was broken up a few days ago, Yulia was more angry than I was.
She barely stopped her from going to the duke’s house with her sword in her arms.
“It’s too much… If you end up doing it, it’s no different than taking candy from a child… !”
This is also a big deal.
I’m about to get married, but I’m not going to become a Bracon.
Still, if she enters the academy now, won’t Yulia’s independence grow?
I’m not a parent, but I suddenly think that maybe it’s a reaction to what I’ve raised too much.
Of course, I immediately realized that this was a ridiculous idea and shook my head.
“If my brother enters the school, I will also apply next year.”
“Huh? Why?”
“I originally intended to go. You can’t go anywhere and get beaten up.”
“hahahaha. I’ll take your heart.”
No matter what you do, you don’t know that it’s a warm heart that thinks of your family.
I was happy to think that this was also the fruit of my faithful efforts.
“Chit… I’m not kidding.”
“I know.”
I was worried because I showed a bit of bra-con temperament, but I thought I wouldn’t see him for a while if we broke up this time, so I decided to accept his complaints.
For a long time, Yulia poured out her story.
She mainly talked about swearing at Louis, who had broken off her marriage.
She had heard it many times, but she listened earnestly each time, knowing that it was meant to comfort me.
I’m thankful that she gets more angry than me.
Meanwhile, she reached her destination.
Hee hee hee hee.
“I’m here, young boy.”
A magic circle directly connected to the island.
Once I got past this, I could go straight to the academy and the entrance examination room.
“Brother, can I go too?”
“No.”
“Chit… !”
She resolutely brushed off Yulia, who looked sad.
You can’t make her brother a bra con.
At the entrance, wizards were waiting and checking ID cards.
“Here.”
“Your Jin with your application number 1,378 has been confirmed.”
Since it is a magic circle that leads directly to the system, her identity check is strict.
Of course, it is possible to take her Yulia as her companion, but then she will break Yulia later on to her father.
“Thank you. For following me See you at the academy next year.”
“Huh? Brother, you haven’t even been attached yet. And won’t you come down during vacation?”
“I have to come down. When the test results come out, I’ll send them to the territory. Oppa will join, so if you are going to enter school, prepare well from now on.”
“… Huh. Goodbye brother.”
This is why I like Yulia.
He has a lot of affection and sometimes acts like a tomboy, but basically he listens well.
She waved her hand endlessly while I stood in the magic circle.
I also sent her off.
As the magic circle started operating, I felt the magic enveloping my body.
I didn’t deny it,
Paaa.
I arrived at the islands in an instant.
As soon as I arrived, I saw countless people under the walls.
“Eugene. Welcome. The exam is scheduled to be held in three days, and a separate room is provided for the test takers, so if you have any plans to use it, please contact the administrative office.”
A wizard wearing a black robe greeted me politely and handed me a token.
Um. Looking at it, it’s like a separate entrance exam certificate.
The appearance was like a badge.
“Oh, you can attach that to the right chest. It is used to prove your identity.”
“Yes.”
As I was attaching the badge, I realized that the final exam was imminent.
